[Not sure what ng's to crosspost this to . . . it's kinda a hodge-podge of
DUPLO and Star Wars and Castle and mecha stuff. I guess I'll go with that.
Followups to .duplo?]

These were a lot of fun to make. Here's the secret: The backs of the DUPLO
dinos, it turns out, are regular DUPLO studs which perfectly accommodate 2x4
and 2x6 LEGO SYSTEM bricks. But not only that, they also accommodate the new
6x6x2 quad-inverse-slope SYSTEM bricks that come in the LEGO Star Wars sets!
And these enable the very quick conversion of a DUPLO dino into a SYSTEM dino!
The minifigs are Blacktron I figs with Ninja heads and various other Castle
helmets. The rest of the parts come purely from LEGO Star Wars sets (one copy
of each 1999 & 2000 set, plus 5 additional parts that needed to be nabbed from
second copies of Naboo Swamp and Naboo Fighter.)

| WOW! I'm not normally that much into figures and/or Mech type stuff, but these are really fantastic! I really like the bright combination of colors. Your photography is beautiful as well. Keep it up! Brad (25 years ago, 2-Apr-00, to lugnet.duplo)

| Todd, Those are fantastic! I have to agree that they have a Flintstones-like quality to them, which makes them even more fascinating to me. I'm especially fond of Yatsuzaki, as the blend of green, orange and grey actually works! I'd love to see more (...) (25 years ago, 2-Apr-00, to lugnet.duplo)

| Wow, great MOC:s! They remind me of an anime I saw once, called "the planet of the dinosaurs". That was about man and dinosaur living together, but it was not hi-tech, it was more like the Roman Empire. Anyway, I really like the way you've used (...) (25 years ago, 2-Apr-00, to lugnet.duplo)

| These have got to be some of the coolest MOCs I've ever seen. Great job Todd. They remind me of a cartoon from the 80s called Dinosaucers. In the show a dinosaur race evolves a technoligically advanced civilization and then something happens to (...) (25 years ago, 4-Apr-00, to lugnet.duplo)
